For Authors

Banach Press brings rigorously reviewed research to a broad readership across mathematics, the physical sciences, engineering, and the philosophical disciplines. Each title in our portfolio has its own author guidelines and submission system, with editorial decisions made by the journal’s editors.

Preparing your manuscript

  • Check the target journal’s aims and scope before you write, not after. A well-judged paper sent to the wrong journal still receives a negative editorial decision.
  • Posting a preprint is permitted unless the target journal’s policies and guidelines say otherwise.
  • Submit original work, not previously published and not under review elsewhere, formatted to the target journal’s requirements and reference style.
  • Write proofs, definitions, and empirical validation so a reader can follow them without reconstructing a missing argument, and cite prior work and disagreements rather than disguising them in the text.

Authorship

We ask every credited author to meet all four of the standard criteria used in scholarly publishing: a substantial contribution to the work; drafting or critically revising the manuscript; approval of the final version; and accountability for the work as a whole.

Contributors who do not meet the criteria should be acknowledged rather than listed as authors. Author contributions and any conflicts of interest should be disclosed at submission, not left for a reader to infer. See Research Integrity for how this is enforced.

Submitting your work

Manuscript submissions are handled directly through the journals. Authors preparing work for the Journal of Convex Analysis should consult the journal’s website, where the author guidelines and submission requirements are provided.

As further titles join Banach Press, their submission routes will be listed on our Journals page.

Peer review and revisions

Every submission that passes an initial editorial assessment is sent to independent experts who review the work for its quality and its fit with the journal. A request to revise does not guarantee acceptance; the editor makes the decision, taking the reviewers’ recommendations into account.

Full details are in our Publishing Policies.

Article processing charges

Submission is free. The Journal of Convex Analysis charges an article processing charge (APC) of USD 600 per article, payable only after the manuscript has been accepted through peer review. Payment never influences the editorial decision.

With the acceptance letter, the editorial office sends an invoice from Banach Press LLC. It can be paid by bank transfer or online on the secure Stripe payment page. What the charge covers and how to pay are explained on the journal’s article processing charges page.

After acceptance

An accepted manuscript is copyedited, assigned a persistent identifier, and indexed according to its journal’s arrangements. It is published under the licensing terms set out by the journal for its authors.

Questions about a specific submission are best directed to the journal’s editorial office. For other enquiries, we welcome contact through the Contact page.
